Mailvox: escaping the gatekeepers
Now that William F. Buckley is dead and no one reads National Review anymore, new gatekeepers are needed to keep conservatives on the farm:
Anyhow, neither identitarians nor nationalists have any place in the conservative movement, since the conservative movement never conserved anything, least of all America.
The more I examine Conservative positions (that I used to hold) the angrier I get.Propped-up? Just because he hasn't been kicked off Twitter, he's barely out of college, and he has a well-funded think tank is no reason to be suspicious. He's probably just whip-smart and DEMOLISHES liberals with his tweets.
I've been paying a bit of attention to an Ultra Cuckservative on Twitter for a few weeks.
His name is Charlie Kirk and he runs a Conservative group called Turning Point.
He posted this on Twitter just last night:
"Fringe ethno-nationalist racial identitarians have NO PLACE in the conservative movement - we reject them!"
Every post from this clown is the same old Basic B Conservative Boilerplate we've seen for decades. He's constantly tweeting about Blacks. Never mentions white people.
I suspect he's propped up, too. He's only 24 years old, I never even heard of this guy two years ago, but he has nearly 700K twitter followers and has managed to establish a fairly major think-tanky style operation.
Anyhow, neither identitarians nor nationalists have any place in the conservative movement, since the conservative movement never conserved anything, least of all America.

Here's the skinny on Turning Point's funding sources. Mostly GOP types, as far as this article says:

Charlie Kirk activates my cringe reflex. Certified cornuto.

Conservatism is like this massive broken down truck tethered to the Progressive truck. For decades the Progressive truck has been racing ahead keeping the tether taut and the conservative truck at a fixed distance. The whole time, pieces of merchandise have been falling off the back of the Progressive truck and landing in the Conservative truck. Today, the Progressive truck is running out of gas and the Conservative truck has no breaks or its own method of propulsion and will eventually rear-end the Progressives, but watch as they get closer and closer to one another.
Well I wasn't expecting this.
I just did 2 minutes of research on Charlie Kirk.
He started Turning Point USA in 2012 at the age of 18.
At the 2012 Republican National Convention, 18 year old Charlie convinced 72 year old investor Foster Friess to give him financing.
Pretty good sales pitch for a teen.
I remember being 18. I certainly didn't have the maturity, confidence, and business sense to establish a political organization and then ask for venture capital from a 72 year old multi-millionaire.

What on earth makes you think ol' Good Time Charlie did? Cause he said so?
Kirk's career is like a better-looking Ben Shapiro, without the freakish size and weird adenoidal voice. Conservatives have always been suckers for teenagers that could rattle off the talking points.
And, it's not Venture Capital. That implies an expectation of a particular kind of return on the investment. It's propaganda money.
690K Bots following this fake....That's impressive!
More fake conservatives. Kantor, where have I seen that sort of name before?

Charlie Kirk's bio has some interesting...little things.
A trustfund millionaire with political connections. "He dreamed of attending West Point but was rejected."
Seriously? How did he manage that? Political connections pretty much guarantee acceptance at all the service academies.
Crimanal Sexual Conduct will keep a guy out of West Point with that resume but since there is no record of that I have to simply assume that Charlie Kirk is as dumb as a biscuit.
As Vox has stated on the Darkstream, even Civic Nationalists don't believe their own nonsense. Of course that's assuming they're being honest and not intentionally duplicitous.
"Fringe ethno-nationalist racial identitarians have NO PLACE in the conservative movement - we reject them!"
Turning Point USA hosts the Young Women's Leadership Summit and the Young Latino Leadership Summit.
Identity politics - Bad
Women and Latinos - Good
True Conservatism.
How can you doubt his sincerity? He's dating Candace Owens. Surely his virtue is beyond reproach and they will make beautiful milado babies that all true Americans will celebrate and embrace.
I am beginning to suspect there were certain parties looking for an under forty face to represent mainstream Libertarianism.
And they came to the conclusion that if they couldn't find one, they would have to invent one.
@SouthRon: Probably means Candace Owens is a fake conservative as well.
@12 Dating her? Well that explains why he was having breakfast with her this week when Antifa attacked them in the restaurant. Hiding behind a strong woman. Beta cuck.
Can we get Charlie Kirk and Little Ben to fight? Who is the bigger finger-wagger? Debate whether Israel's wall should be 10m or 11m high? That's a topic of serious merit!

How can truth exist in a system of nationalism? For example, is Christianity only true for Americans and Europeans but not true for Cambodians?
Brian Dean wrote:How can truth exist in a system of nationalism? For example, is Christianity only true for Americans and Europeans but not true for Cambodians?
In the Old Testament the tribes and clans of the exodus settled their land allotments separately with their own kind and in the New Testament the Canaanite woman only got the crumbs as she was an alien in that nation and she knew it. I think there was more for her to preach the gospel in her own nation to her own kind.
Buddhism denies the existence of gods. Christianity affirms the existence of one. So there is no place in the universe where both are true. You must choose.

One way or the other she works under him, "She is the Director of Urban Engagement at the conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA."
Wikipedia portrays her as trying several things to make money and only becoming a Conservative in 2017 soon to be picked up by Kirk and then launched into the limelight by Kanye. So yeah, fake.
No IG page found.

Not 100% - this is also a group that invites Ivan Throne to its events, where he gets a good reception.
@SouthRon: Look harder! :-)
Gees, these kids...
Candace, Kirk and Ben already talked.
I have heard about then researched Kirk's Turning Point, I initially thought it was David Jeremiah's ministry but its not. Kirk's Turning P is more of a college movement that appears to have gone mainstream which means 'ever so questionable.'
Consider this, how did this org begin in 2012 considering Kirk's age? At 24 in 2018, void of the pre frontal cortex and its full development along with a commanding mature presence none of which many of the fake right exhibit dishonesty.
Kirk's cuck-ditioning like conditioning is obvious. However I am not seeking to be unkind here I am merely pointing out all b/c he was with Candace Owens getting shouted out of a eatery does not mean stardom. it is another current event in history and nothing more that they invited into their lives.
But we will see yet, Don Jr. likes Kirk so maybe it will turn for some kind of good.

That's so incredibly stupid. How can truth exist in a system of private home ownership? For example, is Christianity only true for my house and my neighbor, but not true for the house across the street?
Edit: the fake or questionable right only exhibit dishonesty and trustworthiness.
Physiognomy on this Kirk clown speaks volumes. Looks cut straight from the mold of a !Jeb!.
Another example of "Propped Up" I've noticed:
Every single day when I look at my Youtube feed for "Recommended" and "Recently Uploaded" videos, I see Ben Shapiro videos.
There are three Youtube channels that are always being pushed: Daily Wire, Patriotic Report, and Conservative Citizen. All feature the daily Ben Shapiro video.
I don't subscribe to any of these channels and haven't watched a Shapiro video in years. The only political videos I watch are Q Anon related, Stefan Molyneux, and SGT Report.
But every single day, Youtube wants me to watch Ben Shapiro.
As long as some of these people say the right things to back PDJT's agenda, or at least pro-MAGA, the Trump family will signal good things about them, but they are not on the Right, and are Gatekeepers.
This can and will change.
Uh oh! Looks like Li'l Benji is hitting the wall, and his replacements are coming of age.

VD, I've heard Alex Jones used Mail Chimp, and that they've dropped him. And I see the Castalia House uses Mail Chimp...
One has to wonder just how much damage Buckley really did to the Conservative cause. He was playing gatekeeper for decades...and his New England snobbery was precisely the thing that both Reagan and Trump had to fight their way through to get the nomination.
Not to mention shutting down robust debate on policy. It's like shouting, "The science is settled!" Science is NEVER settled - that's the whole point of the scientific method. All theories that fit the known facts are legitimate.
If an idea or position has merit, it will withstand robust debate. If it's flawed, robust debate will crush it. Either way, robust debate is to be promoted, not squelched.

I like to think of conservatism as the friction on progressivism. It slows it down, but the coefficient of friction is never above one, so it's never able to reverse the progs.
I've heard people say "there are no stupid questions". This is manifestly untrue. "How can truth exist in a system of nationalism?" is a very stupid question.
It's like these people have heard the words and have a vague idea that they might mean something, so they just string them together in the hope that it might make sense.

Okay, you're new. Mailchimp is just a delivery service. We have all the emails. So, it makes no difference if Mailchimp vanishes tomorrow, we still know how to contact you.
The convenience of Mailchimp is that you can send all 10k emails at once, instead of in 100 batches of 100. But it's a convenience, that's all. It is very far from being a potential showstopper.

No, the battleship question is more meaningful. An improperly oriented battleship is capsized and/or sinking, and so oxygen would 'taste' very good indeed in that environment.

Yes! I've always hated that saying. It's pure lowest common denominator stuff. "Let's make sure we include all the imbeciles and waste everybody else's time." And it encourages laziness, and lazy thinking.
It's yet another sign of our times (that showed up decades ago, of course).

No real knowledge of batch limits. I suppose, if mail monkey bites it, you could write a macro that would take email list in 100 chunks and send them one after each while you do something important?

My preferred version of that is "There are no stupid questions. There are only stupid people who ask questions." If you're feeling generous you can replace stupid with uninformed or misinformed.

Kirk is an improvement. If even the cucks are now of American ethnicity and support Trump and the wall, that is progress.
Sitting on the toilet at work earlier, reading the instructions on the stall door for the dindus not to stand on the seat or throw used toilet paper in the bin or cups in the toilet (who takes a cup to the toilet?!?!), I thought about the "conservative movement" in unflattering terms and Vox's point about not even conserving the privacy of the ladies toilet. It occurred to me to wonder what the sign in their toilet says?
Probably much the same, except with a small addition:
"Please don't rape the young girls - unless you're really black, really Muslim, or really desperate."
Yeah, I don't think another official Conservative Young Turk is what we need.
I'm more inclined to think we need a young Vlad ...
@66 - If they don't know how to use a toilet, how can they read? Are the signs in pictograms? What hell do you work for?
@64 Great start, Crew.
I'd add all the necons, starting with Bill Krystal and David Frum.
@Resident Moron
I think that sign would say: you cannot rape young girls unless you are having a sexual emergency.
@Resident Moron
There's a simple thing that will stop any 3rd world sex assault in a toilet, just leave a tethered goat in every toilet and problem solved (although the PETA people may get a bit emotional!).
The only stupid questions are the ones that you have already gotten an answer to.

Tree of Logic exposed her but it seems Candace Owens is happy enough on the right. She was a conservative for less than 2 years and met the President.
It makes sense. She was a nobody then had the Black Female Conservative jetpack strapped to her. She came up through Alt Media too, her Youtube went viral, Molyneux, PJW, Cerno, etc had her on.
It's a great gig for her, she contributed to the Kayne West thing and has overall brought blacks to the right, so even if she's doing it purely for the money and isn't political, she's a net positive and isn't controlled. (Obviously Black Conservative using black identity politics to recruit blacks to conservatism isn't exactly one of us.)
On an unrelated note, she was part of the trainwreck Rubin Report where she and Blair White scarred Dave Rubin for life.

Kirk is a cuck that can't be trusted to speak honestly, but at least he's pro Trump.
Lauren Southern took him apart in a Youtube video, if you only see one part: https://youtu.be/I2f3MRQiyFo?t=352
Kirk claims race doesn't exist, isn't rooted in genetics or science. He's completely anti identity politics.
Kirk then hires Owens to use identity politics to fish for blacks.
That cuck cannot be trusted. At least a mercenary like Owens is easier to predict. (I'm not suggesting trust her either.)
I expect they'll side with Trump until the end of his second term, at least they aren't a short term problem.
'Conservatives':

It's a question of Values, Leftists for example, have no real values, and they often pretend to have values they do not have, thus they are liars.
In the Eastern countries, they often eat animals we consider pets. For 1400 years Arabs castrated nearly all black males brought in as slaves to the middle east, black women's babies were killed in the middle east by Muslims. Not our values, but perhaps we should have had these values.
Some things go beyond values to genetics, as in IQ, as most African countries do not have high enough IQ's to create or sustain civilization.
Values and IQ = a whole different kind of Truth.
BTW, Average life span of a castrated Black slave (brought in and castrated at say 12-14 years old) was six years, worked to death or just killed. More than 4 out of 5 slaves from Africa went to the middle east, and there is literally no genetics left from that 1400 years, as it was not allowed. The Black African Muslims were allowed to have children, as they were the pawns that could go deep into Africa, without dying from disease, to constantly replenish the ME need for slaves, who died after short lives.

I would be more inclined to believe a person was rejected from West Point for physical disqualification....former football injuries can do that, chronic issues, too many teeth missing, bad eyesight, fingers missing, hernia issues, bone spurs, and the like. There is also a problem with any cadet being married (or have ever been married), that can cause rejection.
Political connections are not always enough to get into West Point. Andrew Jackson tried for years to get his adopted son into West Point....against some pretty stiff opposition, and only gave up when the boy died of natural causes.
This isn't how Buddhism is practiced in Japan (or anywhere as far as I understand). Christianity and Buddhism could be compatible or not. It's not necessarily true that they are incompatible belief systems. Of course that's not to say they should be or that it's even preferable that they are made to be.
@88: That seems unlikely, because the percentage of black ancestry in modern Egyptions is higher than it was, say 2,000 years ago based on looking at bodies from back then.

First of all, you are disputing Stephen Molyneux, not me, as he has some long YTs covering all of this.
Second, after post Roman era, Southern Egypt is more African then ME. The sand later slaves were taken mainly to the countries like what would today be SA, Syria, Jordan, Iran, Iraq, and later Turkey.
I said and Stephan said, Blacks who converted to Muslim had children in African countries. Stop (((niggling))).
It's true that Blacks were not allowed to procreate in solidly ME countries for at least the majority of the 1400 years of the Muslim Imperialism.

True.
Minor Premise: Nationalism means that something is true if you are an American, but not if you are a Cambodian.
False. That's not what nationalism means. Not even close.

The syllogism fails due to the falsity of the minor premise. The conclusion is false, the question is stupid, and the questioner is, at best, logically challenged.

If you were born in Cambodia, you would be a Buddhist. If you were born in Saudi Arabia, you would be a Muslim.
By the way, I stayed in Saudi Arabia for about two months back in 2012. It's safer to be there than in the US. If I stayed there longer, I would become a Muslim not because it's true, but because it's practical.

Nationalism means that "I am an American" is true for me if I am an American and not true for me if I am a Cambodian. It's no harder than that. Universal truth - Americans are Americans and Cambodians are Cambodians.
It's a nice contrast to Globalism which says "I am an American" is equally true for anyone, even a Portagee Scifi writer or an Afgahni goat... herder.

No, that's not the definition of Nationalism. Also, I'd advise against entering the borders of another nation and breaking any of their laws that differ from the laws of your own nation...the police aren't likely to be swayed by your brilliant argument that 2+2=4 everywhere.
Thus the question, how can truth exist in a system of nationalism?
This is almost as stupid as asking how truth can exist in a system where there are two sexes. Denying that there are two sexes...or many different nations...is suppressing the truth not aiding it.
"No, that's not the definition of Nationalism. Also, I'd advise against entering the borders of another nation and breaking any of their laws that differ from the laws of your own nation..."
So you admit that you don't obey laws because they are good or moral laws. You obey them because it's practical to obey them. So if a nation made it illegal to be a Christian, I guess that means you better not be Christian.
1. The Slate is Blank
2. All human societies are the same in every significant way
3. If they're not, they "should" be.

You know, when I asked if you were having trouble with the concept of nationalism or the concept of truth, I was kinda being facetious on the "you don't know what truth is" side of the snark.
And here it turns out you really don't know what truth is. IF I were in Saudi for 100 years, I would never become a Muslim, because Islam is a lie. It is a lie from the very depths of hell. It cannot in any way or under any circumstances be considered true.
But you're willing to give assent to the lie because it's "practical."
Go back to hell.

If you lived in the Kingdom of the Blind, would you put out your own eyes for the sake of practicality?
So you admit that you don't obey laws because they are good or moral laws. You obey them because it's practical to obey them.
No, I don’t admit that because it’s not true. And only a moron or a sociopath would pose such an irrational question. A normal human’s motivation for obeying a speed limit is different than their motivation for obeying a law against rape.
By your logic, if two US states both have a maximum highway speed limit of 70mph, and one state votes to increase theirs to 75mph, then only one (or neither) those speed limits can be true or moral. So tell me, what is the one true speed limit all of humankind should follow?

You know, when I asked if you were having trouble with the concept of nationalism or the concept of truth, I was kinda being facetious on the "you don't know what truth is" side of the snark.
Just asking the question indicated some trouble with the concept.

> Demands reconciliation of truth and nationalism.
Why even ask the question? If truth is optional, so is reconciliation. Valuing practicality over truth mean that the only concern is if nationalism is practical.
No one here thinks nationalism is impractical. It's inevitable. Be nationalist.
But hey, if he manages to stick around, maybe he'll lose the retard.
The Decalogue.
"By the way, I stayed in Saudi Arabia for about two months back in 2012. It's safer to be there than in the US. If I stayed there longer, I would become a Muslim not because it's true, but because it's practical."
I was in Saudi for close to a year.
I would NEVER become a Muslim.
There's no reason to become a Muslim, not even if you are in Saudi. All you have to do is NOT go around proselytizing your non-Muslim religion, and if you're a woman, keep your hair, arms, and legs covered when in public.
Those rules worked in 1991-92, and the rules in Saudi are significantly weaker than they were back then (for example, women are allowed to drive cars now).
In fact, the fact that women (with zero driver's training) are allowed to drive (just like the men), means that the roads (AND SIDEWALKS) are more dangerous than ever in Saudi.
I thought about picking up some contract work in Saudi in the 1990s. Now? You couldn't pay me to go back -- not until they build good subway and bus systems to get most of the Saudi drivers off the roads!
